Cover Orientation Target not working

[0BanZai0]

Hi @pawlizio sorry to bother you again.

From my understanding the "Cover Orientation Target" sets the covers tilt after opening or closing.
I've noticed, that changing the orientation target makes no difference anymore. And I'm getting an error in the logs:

self.raw = self.from_percent(percent=position_percent) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/local/lib/python3.13/site-packages/pyvlx/parameter.py", line 91, in from_percent raise PyVLXException("Position::percent_out_of_range") pyvlx.exception.PyVLXException:

Thank you for your support!

Hi @0BanZai0 ,
the target orientation is used when using the buttons below and at mine exterior venetian blinds it works:

However I see the out of range error as well, when stopping the cover. Need to check this.

@pawlizio you're absolutely right. Thanks for looking into the error.
Do you have an idea how I can achieve the following:

When leaving the house, I'd like to close all venetian blinds that might be open. But I don't want them to tilt to 0.
Right now I have an automation that just closes the blinds that are not closed. The tilt then is at 0...
In my mind there must be something to set a target "closing" and "tilt" at the same time. For example: "Close blind and set tilt to 50".
You know what I mean?
I thought I could achieve this with the orientation target :)

@0BanZai0 you can simply add a second action with the desired orientation after your position close action, like:

@pawlizio Does this really work? In my mind this scenario can't work if the covers first need to be closed. I thought that I'd have to wait until the state is "closed" to give the command to set the tilt.
It seems that I should stop thinking that much and start testing :)

I changed it many years ago. Earlier an orientation command stopped the blind position movement and set the orientation. In my mind this was not very user friendly, so I changed it. Now you don't have to wait until the position in reached to set the orientation.

Your mind was totally right :) Thanks for that, I'll try it!
